Support -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:47, 27 July 2018 (UTC)- Support That's just weird. Since the hotel is pointing left, it would have been better to have added more room on the left with a pan & stitch. -- Colin (talk) 16:39, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Well, this image can be split in three zones... The bottom one with about 20% of the image area depicts a cricket match. As a sports photo, the subject is much too small and lacks action. The second area is the tree line, which to me is the best part of the image but unfortunately overall the image lacks sharpness and is furthermore ruined by buses, construction equipment and some walkers that are oblivious to the game. And third, the top part is fuzzy overall and as Colin states, it could have benefited from more space on the left. I do not find redeeming photographic qualities here. Not even a QI. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:57, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

- Basile, I don't think the fact that it is a QI is much relevant as a response to Tomas's opinion. QI itself is merely the opinion of one viewer, and typically in my experience doesn't give much weight to what makes a great picture. The thing that caught my eye was the juxtaposition of an old fashioned colonial game of cricket vs some alien spaceship that has landed and is 'walking' across the frame, separated by a line of trees. This vertical framing is just right. Horizontally, though, it is frustratingly all wrong, with the cricketers too far to the right and the "spaceship" too far to the left. And those coaches and random passers-by are indeed negative elements. The building is likely as sharp as atmospheric conditions would permit at this distance. -- Colin (talk) 16:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support For me the picture's sharp enough. The position of the batter is perfect. The skyscrapers with the roof terrace give the whole thing a surrealistic touch.--Ermell (talk) 22:15, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support --Karelj (talk) 22:27, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 22:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose the composition is too wild for my eyes while the overall lighting is too uniform, uninteresting -- GeXeS (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Moderate support A picture that seems to sum up Singapore in so many ways ... Daniel Case (talk) 16:27, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:54, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 02:29, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

- Support - Yes, it's a bit hazy, as Tomas said, but I find the composition irresistible and agree with Colin and Ermell. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:53, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, lighting is too dull, maybe some processing can fix it? ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 12:11, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Gave a try, but no, this would look artificial -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:17, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
